Obviously this is competing at least somewhat with Rapportive. I wonder if this will actually consume users of Rapportive because it's good enough, or if it will boost Rapportive's coverage and use because of the competition.
If I were to make a guess, however, I'd guess this is "good enough" to steal a large number of users from Rapportive, or rather people will just stop installing the Rapportive add-on.
- ktsmith 15y agoI doubt they care if a single user is stolen from rapportive. There are a massive number of gmail accounts and all of those people that have never heard of rapportive will now have a new feature they may benefit from in some way. For the small percentage of gmail users that have heard of rapportive and have chosen not to use it for whatever reason (trust/security) we also may see some rapportive like benefit. While this is clearly inspired by rapportive I can't imagine the goal was to steal users from them.
- mdwrigh2 15y agoOh, I don't think their intent was to steal users from Rapportive, I was just speculating on how this feature would affect Rapportive.
